I definitely feel like we have better survivability than we did in 5.1 but I think we still need some better defensives. Outside of bubble we are a very easy kill target for casters (and pretty much everyone else).

Mages can still kill us in a Deep Freeze and Shadow priests just fear us over and over untill we bubble and they remove it in less than 1 second.

I gave up ret pretty early last season, so I got NO Ret gear now.
Signed up for a random BG and did pretty decent with 484 PvE ilvl, had a healer with me though.. I was realy squishy, but thats the lack of resi ofc. But overall I actually enjoyed it now, so gonna get full gear as ret now aswell to have fun in BGs and random arena matches.

I'm doing some in portuguese (BR), ideas run arround that. Got to walk on the trap when your healer gets scattered, keep and eye for BoPing yourself then you need and DS is on CD... and CC Paladin till he bubbles then switch to him with with Hunter Silence, your Stun+Burst and Priest Fear on the Hunter/War for peels.

"I notice my rating actually boosts when I remember to have fun. Playing competitively while also enjoying yourself and focussing on having good games instead of getting rating is way more important.
After 2.2k the fun devolves into a twisted realm suffering and despair and you will quit pvp from extreme traumatic stress and you will probably xfer to Moon Guard and join some Belf rp guild and become a prostitute in Silvermoon."by Clukclukbewm

Has anyone noticed that Flash of Light very often heals for less than its baseline and that is even with 3 stacks of Selfless Healer. I haven't done any arenas this season yet, but it happens in battlegrounds very frequently. Spell seems to be broken right now.

Priests and druids are super frustrating. As soon as they see Wings, it's just constant Fear and/or Roots + Shapeshift. Even with Freedom/movement increases...it's incredibly difficult to not waste your cooldowns.

I found that forcing an early trinket and then stunning + cooldowns is really the only way to burst someone down. This is my first season playing Ret in pvp, am I doing something wrong?
